Eating (mindful)

There's a useful connection here because moving from internal nourishment to outdoor connection extends the caring attention outward.

Being in nature
Biddulph keeps coming back to 'going to the park, engaging with nature' as a daily spiritual practice. After dinner the simplest version of this is a walk outside, alone or with whoever's around, without a destination in mind or a phone in hand.
This pairing is especially effective because the sensory grounding from nature primes heightened body awareness, deepening the relaxation a scan brings.

Body scan
Wild Creature Mind (2024) is Biddulph's argument that the body, is where presence lives. The practice here is a short body scan, lying or seated, noticing without getting fixed on anything, to let the day's analytical mind quieten down.
